Remove/Deny Ian Duncan Smith Knighthood

The Issue

Ian Duncan Smith has done more harm with his devised universal credit than ever before. The degrading treatment of children, disabled, mentally ill, physically ill and others have been disgusting. Universal credit has harmed people I personally know who have worked all their lives then fell ill and found they needed universal credit during that time to find it just about covered rent and council tax, it did not even cover for food. He does not deserve this knighthood when children are literally freezing and starving! If this continues, the knighthood proves you have let this country down. It says something when you stand there and give someone a knighthood whilst children are starving, disabled and mentally ill are being discriminated against. People require state help when things out of their control happen and that can happen to anyone regardless of wealth such as escaping abusive relationships, mental breakdown, discrimination at work. The queen accepting the request for Ian Duncan Smiths knighthood and the cabinet for suggesting him shows how little they care for the people of this country.
